Where does this annoying hair problem come from and what can we do about it? We share first aid measures and tips with you in this blog post.

Reasons for stubborn hair

If the hair is flat or very greasy at the base, this may be due to hormone fluctuations. The metabolism and sebum production of the scalp change during the cycle. Some women sweat faster and their hair becomes greasy more quickly.

What do your sleeping habits look like? Do you take enough care of your hair before going to bed? Thorough combing and brushing to remove styling residue is important to avoid getting up with the bad hair look the next morning.

Your personal sensation, stress or a cold can also be a reason for untamed hair. If you don't feel well, you can usually see this in your hair. Hair often looks dull. Healthy body = shiny hair.

Care residues in the hair can make it look dull. The hair often appears stringy and the hair is weighted down. Therefore - always rinse shampoo, conditioner and masks thoroughly.

Very humid and also very dry air can cause the hair to sit uncoordinated. In heated rooms, the hair can quickly become electrically charged and stick to the head. Rubbing against the pillow can also electrically charge the hair.

Longer and more stressed hair is more often affected. Anyone who already has hair that is difficult to comb with a damaged surface is more likely to be affected. In the case of long hair, the protective layer at the tips is often broken open.

My favorite solution on Bad Hair Day is the Messy Bun. It is quick and easy to style and all unsightly areas of the hair are covered. In addition, it fits virtually to every outfit. Dry tips can simply be hidden on the head. Braided hairstyles are also perfect for a Bad Hair Day. Unpleasant waves or edges in the hair can easily be hidden.

Oily areas at the base? Use dry shampoo. This not only refreshes the hair, but also gives volume to the roots. Spray on, rub dry and comb out. In just a few seconds you will achieve a "how freshly washed look".

A little oil can help with frizzy and untidy hair. Hair serums and hair oils help to smooth the dandruff layer again. Add a small amount to dry hair and it will be easier to style again. You can also spray hairspray on a comb. This makes it easy to straighten small hairs when combing. Styling creams tame the hair just as quickly. Simply rub into the palms of your hands and stroke over the hair.

With the current hairband trend you can not only score stylishly, but also tame the hair and distract from the chaos on the head.

On Bad Hair Day, when your vertebrae go crazy again and your hair protrudes in all directions, moisten the vertebrae and add a spray hardener. Then blow-dry the hair with a round brush. This helps against stubborn vertebrae.

Tips and Tricks - Or, how do I avoid Bad Hair Days?

Worry about your hair before going to bed. Thorough combing and brushing helps to arrange your hair. If possible, sleep on silk pillows to avoid static electricity. Long hair should be loosely tied together, otherwise the pillow will rub against the hair and mat it. A loose plait prevents unattractive edges and waves in the hair the next day.

Heat protection sprays with anti-static effect prevent flying hair. Use them regularly before blow-drying. Mainly blow dry at the root. The hair is thus loosened without drying out the tips too much.

Regular brushing distributes the grease of the scalp into the lengths and thus protects against frizz.

Anti-Frizz products and moisturizing shampoos gently clean the hair and prevent hair and scalp from drying out.
